Artist Bio
Art has always been Linh Vo’s world beginning in her childhood in Vietnam. Later when she worked in the “super dry” Technology industry in Los Angeles for over 30 years, she took every opportunity to apply her creativity and artistic skills to her projects and made the workplace much more productive and enjoyable. People resonated with and appreciated her personal touches in her designs – an approach that in the technology world is often overlooked by many yet fully embraced by a select few such as Apple products. In 2017, Linh felt the desire to reconnect with her childhood dream by stepping into the art world, building upon her myriad of life experiences, and narrating that dream wholeheartedly to the world.
Linh’s art is unique and versatile. Her choices of colors are intuitive, purposeful, and yet personal, for example, using two tones of black and white to add a sense of balance and harmony or timeless elegance to a room, a touch of pastel to exude sweetness and femininity, bright and bold colors to trigger feelings of happiness, or earth tone color palette to promote serenity and emotional comfort at home.
Linh also incorporates special design techniques and visual effects in her wide range of artworks - from human stories, natural wonders, and still life, to abstract interpretations - to not only reconstruct the realism of the subject but also deliver its meaning, emotion, and story to effectively engage the viewers’ interests, captivate their imagination and leave a lasting impression.
Linh’s inspiration further comes from studying famous art pieces spanning different eras from artists -- such as Vincent Van Gogh, Thomas Gainsborough, and Leonardo da Vinci, and emerging artists from visits to various local galleries and museums as well as online art exhibits such as Gallerium.art, Artsy marketplace, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram.
Linh’s art and creativity have quickly caught the eyes of community leaders and organizations. She was invited to showcase her arts in community fundraising auction events and is now a regular feature at the annual fundraising banquet for the Museum of the Republic of VietNam in Westminster, CA. Her arts have also been selected by prestigious and highly respected art competitions in 2024 thus far: “Love Grows Here” by City of Irvine, CA - Fine Arts Center, Laguna Art Gallery, the largest art gallery in Southern CA, and True Beauty (international); “Making Every Minute Count” and “Red Romance” by City of Newport Beach, CA - 57th Art Exhibition and Award Competition; “A New Day” by Shapes and Colors online Exhibition and Publication (international); and “The General’s Wife” by Artistonish Magazine - 46th May Issue (international).
